MJ hands down.. Hes made a s--- load of money, hes in charge of a team, all he does is drink, smoke cigars, gamble and play golf. He dominated an entire league, and hes the best ever.
Besides Bill Gates seems like a f---ing tool.

MJ
At that level of wealth you really wouldnt see a significant change in lifestyle. Plus MJ can pull down tail like no other...

Yeah but with Bill Gates' money you could buy the best teams, drink the best liquors, smoke the finest cuban cigars, gamble in the billions of dollars, and play golf from Augusta to Dubai without batting an eye. I think i'd have to go with Gates. There's so much more you could do with $50 billion it would be fun to see if I could spend it all before i die. I bet if I really tried I could.

Gates by far. I'd rather be smart than not-as-smart. Plus he probably has 500 times more money than Jordan...wait, didn't Jordan get divorced recently? Make that 1000 times more money than Jordan.

Neither, but I would like to have their money. Being someone and not knowing exactly what's going on with them inside or what kind of issues they have is scary. :shock:

That's why the brain factor is the big one. But the money factor is there too...sure, with Jordan's money you can buy anything you want, but with Gates money you can change the world.

Bill Gates is so damn rich, he could buy Michael Jordan, just to have him shake hands and sign autographs with the MS staff. MJ has a contract with Nike, Gates could own Nike tomorrow if he wanted. MJ gambles as a high roller VIP at luxury resorts and casinos all over the world, if I was Gates, those would be my casino's MJ gambles at.

I'm surprised no one has brought up the "sports icon" factor yet. I haven't seen any 12-year-old kids with a poster of Bill Gates on their wall yet.. have you?

Gates could buy every poster company out there and rename them Bill Gates Poster World and have his picture in the bottom right hand corner of every poster ever made till the end of time.

Michael Jordan is one of the most recognizable faces in the world.

That is not attractive to me at all, so was not a factor. It is a shame that kids have pictures of Jordan rather than Gates or Sagan on their wall, but I certainly understand why.

Jumping on a bandwagon, i would take Steve Wozniak over Bill Gates, but both easily over Michael Jordan.

That's not a selling point. The guy can't go to the movies without being mobbed. Bill Gates not only has the money, he can go wherever he wants and not worry about being harassed.
